Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)
1] What you CAN NOT post.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene
You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)
The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!
2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.
This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.
3] Keep the focus.
Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.
4] Behave as you would in a public location.
This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.
5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.
Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.
6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.
Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.
7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.
- PLEASE READ -
Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.
8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)
If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

One-Way- by quoting your response to Karoper I was illustrating to you how hypocritical you were being. If she's 17 and (in)capable of having a long term relationship then she's plenty enough of an adult in my book. If I were you I wouldn't have all of my standards handed to me by the Federal government. You're an adult and you too can formulate your own opinions just like I stated that she could. Just because I was defending her right to do whatever she wants to w/o having to follow your "orders" doesn't make me the resident druggie ROFLMAO@S!! Orders is what you were giving her NOT advice as real friends do not turn their back on one and another because one of them decides not to follow what the other one says. You gave her an ultimatum which she probably took as advice then and then get mad at her when she doesn't understand your new attitude ...
Drinking btw leads to ppl dying every year ... but that's ok right just because it’s legal? Oh and alcohol isn't a drug because the Federal Government hasn't labeled it as one? ... pfft Once again letting the Fed dictate your own standards. The majority of your state doesn’t even agree with you as they have shown that not only is mj not as bad as you make it out to be but can and should be used as a medicine. You must have missed that vote ...

Life in the teens is pretty different and maybe those who are a little older can support me on this... You don't view friendships the same way and they aren't the same way. None of my hs friends are my friends now and I did view advice my friends then gave me differently than now. I think even though at age we tended to think we knew way more than we did, I don't think we necessarily believed our friends knew enough for their advice to be valuable on some issues. Now, I have a tremendous amount of respect for my friends and their views and opinions are more important to me.
This could also be that my friends then and now are completely different people differing in more ways than age though.
I think buried in there, Lamb has a point about orders. We can give advice to our friends, but I don't think we have a right to give orders. Their decisions are just that... theirs.
Just because she didn't value your advice now, doesn't mean that she never will. Hindsight is an amazing thing. I think we all have memories of things we did and now think back and can't imagine what the heck we were thinking or how we could have arrived at such a stupid decision. It happens. If you're smart, you look back, learn, and move on.
You should just feel good that you did what you believe is right and had her best interest in mind. What she chooses to do with that is in her hands. She'll either come around and see that you really care about her and be a better friend or if she doesn't you can think about whether that's really a friend you'd want.[COLOR=#4b0082][B][SIZE=4][FONT=trebuchet ms]“If you think you can, or you can’t, you’re right.”

I don't think it's a fair analogy. I never said I didn't inhale it. Bill Clinton is an idiot.Achkerov kute.

There's just a certain way you're talking to me and Siggie talking to me. It's like you're trying to win a court case by slamming me to the ground. Ease up, lamb chop.

Unfortunately hindsight is 20/20 so some of the advice given in previous years will come back to bite all of us in the butt. Still life isn't about always learning from others mistakes more than creating our own.
I admit I verbally shoot first and ask questions later. Sorry to sound so crass One-Way. I should learn to articulate myself w/o being a total jerk ...
Still there is a difference b/w advice and issuing orders. I personally would rather have a dope smoking idiot for a friend than an "order giving" person who labeled themselves as my friend. I'd also rather have a dope smoking idiot for a friend than an alcoholic. Mj imo is mos def the lesser of these two evils ... if it even constitutes an evil. In general people shouldn't be so judgmental about consensual crimes ... I really don't see how ppl can get so upset about something that doesn't affect them at all in a physical harm sense.

^ Thanks for calling me an "order giving" person when you don't even know the half of the story. Second, it's your opinion if you want a pothead friend. Honestly, seems to me you yourself are a pothead and you're trying to prove something. But who are you trying to prove - yourself?
I'm not an alcoholic as you say. Yeah, I joke around and call myself that, but you don't even know my lifestyle. Come take a look, then make a judgement. You don't see anyone of us judging you, do you?
